Here are some of the photographs we took of the animals at Chester Zoo. Can you guess the names of these animals?

Despite the long journey, the children were incredibly well behaved on the bus. They made their teachers, grown-ups and themselves very proud with their mature and patient behaviour. Well done Reception! Thank you to all of our volunteers and helpers who helped to make our trip an amazing experience.

This term we are learning all about wild animals. In preparation for our trip to Chester Zoo next week, your homework is to tell us what you already know about wild animals. Why not write a comment on the blog, email us or draw a picture. If you are not sure perhaps you could find some information in a book or on the internet with your grown-up. We will be sharing what you have found out on Monday 8th June.

Homework over the holidays is to plant the pea you were given today and document its growth! You can comment below, email us photographs or draw and write in your homework book. Please let us know how you are getting on!
